1. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and drop in the asparagus spears (keeping the tips out of the water). Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
2. Using a large slotted spoon, lift out the asparagus and plunge into a bowl of ice cold water. Drain well after 5 minutes.
3. Make the dressing by mixing together the olive oil, lemon juice, pinch of sugar, mustard and basil.
4. Pour 1/3 of the dressing over the sliced avocados and allow to stand for 10 minutes before assembling the dish.
5. Divide the asparagus into two and wrap the two slices of Parma ham around the middle of the bunch and place on serving plates. Arrange the avocados onto the plates along with the salad.
6. Pour over the remaining dressing and serve with fresh warmed bread.
